According to foreign media on the 13th (Korean time), the IOC Executive Committee recommended to the IOC General Assembly that the southern French Alps region be selected as the host site for the 2030 Games and Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, as the host site for the 2034 Games.

“We are confident that the two candidate sites represent a successful and sustainable event for the Winter Olympics,” said Carl Stoss, chairman of the IOC’s Future Host Sites Committee.

The venue for the 2030 and 2034 Winter Olympics will be decided at the IOC General Assembly to be held in Paris, France from July 23 to 25 ahead of the opening of the 33rd Summer Olympics.

In the case of the 2030 Games, in addition to France, Sweden and Switzerland are also known to be willing to host, but the IOC has begun to organize traffic ahead of the general meeting.

France and the United States, which received support from the IOC Executive Committee, have increased their chances of hosting the 2030 and 2034 Winter Olympics, respectively.

If France succeeds in hosting the 2030 Games, it will become the fourth country to host the Winter Olympics, following Chamonix in 1924, Grenoble in 1968, and Albertville in 1992. The United States is expected to become the fifth country to host the Winter Olympics, following Lake Placid in 1932, Squaw Valley in 1960, Lake Placid in 1980, and Salt Lake City in 2002. Originally, Salt Lake City hoped to host the 2030 Winter Olympics, but because it was too close to the 2026 Los Angeles (LA) Summer Olympics, it was postponed to 2034. Meanwhile, the 2026 Winter Olympics are scheduled to be held in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. 토토사이트
